@TheStevenWillis France and Argentina are clearly above everyone else so far, still gotta see Portugal and England. But what the USMNT have shown so far, put then on the 2nd tier for sure.

I have seen no team so far in this World Cup and thought the USMNT can’t beat them

@TruthseekingMF @DrSuneelDhand No. This is just what you’ve been told.

@DrSuneelDhand Europe is being conquered as we speak. It will be an Islamic caliphate before the next generation gets to visit.

I love America, but I hate to burst your bubble: if you are on Twitter, and you are getting posts about how Europeans visiting for the World Cup are completely in awe of American food and grocery stores— I have to be honest with you and tell you you are being fed complete nonsense by the algorithm.
I’ve traveled to almost every European country, and there isn’t a single one which doesn’t have better grocery stores and higher-quality restaurant food than the USA.
Just being honest, as a doctor should

@JasonMac @leroux_db Surprisingly, the majority of the world disagrees.

@leroux_db I don’t watch that shit anymore either. But it’s far superior to soccer.

I was praying for some thief to seize the opportunity to swipe his phone and sunglasses, honest to God. 😆

@alleria_eh Who said they won’t be able to play video games?

Parents: "we don't have time to monitor our kids online activities. The ban will guarantee our kids aren't online and exposed to danger!"
Great... i hope you have time then to spend giving your kids attention, activities and knowing where they are all hours of the day once they are no longer able to be inside, online, gaming with friends.
80s/90s kids we were raised cellphone/internet free and we did a ton of shit we weren't supposed to.
Kids need to be parented regardless of whether they have access online or not.
English
Get rid of social media entirely and what is left for a minority or queer kid to do, to be with? Most children are straight. Queerphobia, racism and bullying are all still extremely common in schools and amongst kids in general. Must queer kids be condemned to loneliness?
English
What do you think 16-17 year old kids are? Stupid, immature babies who need government-mandated curfews? Parental controls exist. It is possible to impose greater legal obligations on tech companies without blanket bans; possible to create kid-friendly sections of sites. Come on.

Kids should not spend hours on their phones every day, exposed to self-harm content, pornography, violence, and extremist or hateful material. Yet that is the reality today. Parents alone cannot solve this, so governments should enforce age limits. Let kids be kids.

@headlypark2026 @Fred_Constantin @KlezmerRouge Like the issue is I've tried your artisanal products and you are so ignorant that you are completely unaware that America produces artisanal products.

A single slice of actual aged cheddar would have you on your knees in tears. Wisconsin would be a religious experience for you.

@edwinhayward I’d rather that than my kids grow up with social media running their lives.
English
Do you post anonymously on here?
Would you be happy about the UK government being able to associate your user name with your actual identity?
That's a likely secondary effect of the social media ban for children.
You're very very naive if you think it's a coincidence.
English
@SpenceKjell Parents aren’t with their kids for most of the day.
English
It has very little to do with that! I think we all agree kids shouldn’t be on phones all day.
The discussion is about whether it should be up to parents or the government to regulate it.
Dr Katie Musgrave@dr_musgrave
It baffles me that so many people appear invested in keeping children ON devices, and using social media. Why? Genuinely. 🤷♀️ Do we really think the benefits outweigh the harms?

@AlertaNews24 She didn’t try to convince her of anything…

Such a massive overreaction to this. YouTube content will still sit there. U16s just won't be able to create an account, upload content, comment, be tracked or have an algorithm decide their content. All good things.
English
@Miss_Snuffy Oh, so you admit that these site are as dangerous as smoking, so you're going to push to regulate them & force them to display their harmful effects, like tobacco companies where forced to do
Yes?
English
Banning social media for kids is necessary to change the culture around it.
Like how we banned smoking in restaurants. It changed our views and habits on smoking.
Culture is everything.
It is how we save our kids.

@PetjaYlitalo @hbdchick I think you’re thinking of miners…
English
@hbdchick Minors are already treated as slaves, so not sure why it would matter anymore here than elsewhere.
English
arguably, the uk's proposed social media ban for under-16s triggers human rights concerns under article 8 of the ECHR, specifically regarding a minor's right to private life/personal sutonomy. (minors' rights are covered pretty much the same as those of adults by the ECHR.) ...

@realzoestrimpel What would you be saying if a Tory government implemented the same policy? Please don’t pretend they never would.
English
The social media ban is utterly, utterly disgusting. not because it 'doesn't go far enough' or 'won't keep kids safe' or whatever other 'reason' is given that translates to MORE BANNING PLEASE, but because it is a heinous jackboot in the face of the idea that children are human beings. It is extremely dangerous in itself, cutting off lifelines of all kinds, narrowing their worlds, and massively decreasing knowledge and learning (and its potential) and increasing loneliness. the idea that our kids, banned from even Youtube, which is basically knowledge itself, and the most democratically available, will end up being able to vaguely compete on the world stage with peers who have not been cast back into the iron age by an insane, madly illogical government is preposterous and one of the saddest aspects of this.

@MugComics Have you seen what they watch on TikTok? Time wasting brain rot.
English
This a soft ban on social media, i agree at some point that children should stay away from its toxicness, buts it's the parents duty to avoid that, not for any state
Accept it or not, it will mean their info source will be school programs, and that decreases dissent.

A UK student's reaction is going viral after Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Britain will ban children younger than 16 from using social media. During a BBC interview, the student revealed her screen time was nine hours over the weekend. When asked how she'd fill all that extra time without social media, she didn't hesitate: "Stare at a wall." The deadpan response is quickly becoming one of the most shared reactions to the UK's sweeping new restrictions on children's social media use.

Whoops, you're not supposed to say that bit, you're supposed to gaslight yourself and pretend that they're all Englishmen.

@GrantGHurst We aren’t pranking you- you aren’t relevant.
English
I'm not sure who's more annoying; The Irish when you point out they're raging antisemites on the wrong side of every conflict in the world, or the Brits when you point out that telling a believable but mundane lie doesn't actually count as prank.

@AmusedToDeath1 This is one of the worst takes I’ve seen.
English
British of all ppl should know that it is still biologically a French fry even if it identifies as “chips”
AmusedToDeath@AmusedToDeath1
the real problem with British cuisine is that their preferred type of french fry is a steak fry, and that's deranged behavior

@projection2024 Saying the chicken is great but the sauce is overrated because they hate seasoning 😭

Europeans make fun of American eating habits, just to come over the pond and have the most mind blowing experience over a mid chicken joint.
